    Happy new year everyone.  I have missed you guys ?

    Sorry I went AWOL 2016 and hope we can catch up in 2017 especially as I am now a lady of leisure! ?

    Looking forward to spending lots of time in the garden and seeing how all yours have grown in the past year

    Hi shabby chic-ers,do you mind if I ask a non gardening question? I've painted some of my furniture using rustoleum chalk paint, but I can#t find a nice grey for my son's room, has anyone tried anything like dulux endurance or ronseal one coat which both have a colour I like and after a  quick google people say work.  People  I used to work with have called  me a 'lady of leisure'  I am a full time mum, I tried to get to W.I this year, I've managed 3 meetings, 3 nights out with hubby, none with friends,  one hairdressers visit, no meeting friends for lunch or coffee and even though I am a holistic and beaty therapist by training I haven't seen the inside of a salon for a couple of years...yep, really leisurely!
